For the first time in league history, the teams will be mixed across conferences. And LeBron James has the first pick in the draft, but will have to pick first from the pool of starters. Stephen Curry will get the first pick among reserves.

But Love wanted to make it known before the selection that he’d like to be on the same team as Thompson.

Would be special to end up on the same All-Star team as @KlayThompson …our families have been friends for a long time. Crazy that it’s even a possibility. Just a thought!!!

The “just a thought,” truly caps off a beautifully passive aggressive tweet that LeBron himself can admire.

We’ll see if Love gets his wish. Curry has the option of selecting Draymond Green as well, so Love could get his shot if LeBron selects Thompson with his first pick among the reserves. Or could Curry sway Love to Team Steph?

We’ll find out eventually on Thursday when the rosters for each side are announced. But as the Cavaliers continue in turmoil, Love took the All-Star game as a chance to do his own LeBron impersonation.
